"This opencast mine is a massive scheme that will blight our lives for at least the next 17 years, and it's only 37 Metres from the nearest housing estate and edge of a large community! We are suffering desperately with the noise from the operation (60dbA+ at times and regularly at 55dbA) and - to varying degrees governed by the topography, weather conditions, and wind direction - from the dirt and dust output also."  http://www.stopffosyfran.co.uk/index.html

Earth Liberation Front Topples Radio Station Towers in Snohomish County, WA

Locals have disrupted a car rally passing through a sensitive wildlife area of Australia.

Today (2nd September) a group of activists and skippers held a protest against the wasting of food by supermarkets by delivering hampers of binned food to the DEFRA and the Dept. for Business, Innovation and Skills.

Assembling at 11:30am at Westminster Tesco, the group began by staging protests with skipped food, banners and leaflets outside the store. At 1:30pm they arrived at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to present a bountiful hamper of binned edible food and an open letter to a representative of Peter Mandelson, calling for a supermarket ombudsman to be established. They proceeded to DEFRA and delivered another hamper bursting with skipped food for Hilliary Benn, along with another open letter calling for various measures to curb supermarket food waste.

Over two and a half months ago the Mainshill Solidarity Camp was set up on the site of a new open cast coal mine at Mainshill Wood, in support of the local communities efforts to oppose the project and Scottish Coal’s plans, and in defiance of planning approval granted by South Lanarkshire Council.

Greenland, the US, Japan, Iceland and Norway
are 5 countries admitting they still slaughter whales,
while Canadian and Dane fishermen do it secretly. NPR, "National Public Radio"
a network from whose administration the public has been excluded, on the 19th of
August promoted whale slaughter for several minutes.

So ... On the one hand Vestas say there is no demand, yet ..
Welcon say... There is !!

The time has come to embrace solutions. Whether we face the End of the Age of Oil or the End of Time itself, our duty as stewards of Planet Earth is to consciously step forward into a new world, forging the future and reconnecting with our Home.
